The claimed invention relates to the automotive industry, namely: to devices for locking differentials of vehicle driving axles with forced locking. The technical result is creating a differential locking mechanism facilitating a significant improvement of performance indicators in differentials using the claimed locking mechanism and the range expansion of such a differential use. The technical result is achieved by vehicle differential locking device, according to Option 1, integrated into the differential, comprising the differential housing, semi-axle gears located inside the housing, and being in either "Locked" or "Unlocked" positions, consists of: locking elements shaped as a rotation body; through locking holes made in the differential housing, that hold the locking elements with the possibility of moving in locking holes along the axes of these holes; the recesses of semi-axle gear arranged on the semi-axle gear surface; ring lock-up clutch on the differential housing around the locking holes with locking elements, on the inner surface of which there are lock-up clutch grooves enlarging the contact spot area of the pair: ?Lock-up clutch - locking element?. Moreover, the lock-up clutch is connected to the drive, and the lock-up clutch can move along the differential rotation axis. In the vehicle differential locking device, according to Option 2, the lock-up clutch is made with the possibility of its turning relative to the differential housing around its rotation axis and with the possibility of stopping its rotation in "Unlocked" and "Locked" positions.
